According to report, shortly before noon, residents surrounded a white Toyota Etios after several gunshots rang out in Koeberg Road where the man was shot five times.

Four bullet holes could be seen at the driver’s window and a single hole in the windscreen.

“He parks here in the car and he sells tik and lollies to everyone in Brooklyn.

“Everyone comes to buy by him and this is like a turf thing.”

The woman, who admits to purchasing tik from the alleged mert, says he was taking away customers from the 28s.

“He was warned not to sell here and he just kept saying he’s already dead, he is not scared,” she adds.

“I was at home when I heard the shots. He was a nice guy, I couldn’t believe it.”

Police spokesperson Sergeant Noloyiso Rwexana says a case of murder has been opened for investigation with no arrests yet.
